Kosher Love in the Montreal Gazette

Love Rabbi makes marriage work in Kosher Love, a documentary about Jewish matchmaking

Rabbi Bernath, a native of Chicago who moved here over a decade back, is quite the engaging character. He breaks down the Jewish community into three groups: the not-so-religious majority “who eat bagels and watch Seinfeld;” the more serious Orthodox; and the Hasidics “who have a retro fashion sense from the 1700s.”

Bernath didn’t actually choose the role of matchmaker, but he was pressed into service when approached by so many members in the community – from, according to Beloff, “those Reformers who love crispy bacon to the Orthodox who read psalms by candlelight.”
